Road Trip from Texas to Washington

So after leaving my hubby to visit family I embarked on a long but sweet road trip from Texas to Washington. Our little group consisted of 4 tiny dogs my parents and I all in my dads truck. He pulled their 5th wheel for the journey so we could go anywhere on the trip back. Our first night was in you guessed it Roswell NM! Let's face it...Aliens...Yep the highlight of the whole trip. I took tons of pics (yes even with an alien!) and left with a t-shirt to remember the awesomeness...And it was true awesomeness. I believe Roswell was everyone's favorite haha. We stayed in the cutest little RV park called the Red Barn was really really nice.

Then we headed up stopping here and there at different places but for AZ the meteor crater and you guessed it THE GRAND CANYON. (Notice the large caps for effect...)were our favorite stops. We were on the southern end of the canyon so we missed getting to walk on the glass walkway where you could feel like you were standing on thin air but it was still so beautiful! And the prickly pear honey from the gift shop oh my gosh...wow. My hubs loves honey so it's one of the things we pick up in random places. And don't worry his jar is still intact for him to devour when I see him again. My dad and I snuck into his before dinner one evening.

We spent a couple nights in UT. A friend of the family happened to be where we were going to be staying for his family reunion so we got a real native tour of Ogden. I also happened to have a friend that lived there so it was a busy 2 days. We saw the Air museum on Hill AFB and the Dinosaur Land. Coolest museum I have ever been too. Some of the dinos moved and made noise plus you had the fossils and such. I took some sweet pics there. I have one where I am running from a vilosaraptor I believe it was...After that we buzzed home in one day. In Idaho Butter decided on a stop to roll in something dead and stunk us out the last few hours. My parents are pretty awesome so there weren't angry at all mostly they laughed.

I was worried I'd gain some poundage on the trip since I knew I wouldn't be logging my food everyday on MFP or hitting the gym but surprisingly I lost a couple since my last weigh in so I am one happy girl and so thankful that junk I ate didn't stick to me! Now that I am at my families for the visit I am on a mission of the heath for keeping me on track and helping my parents with theirs lol. I don't mind cooking to help out and make some tasty dishes that are good for everyone's waistline. My mom is excited as she wants to loose some weight and she really likes Atkins and it has worked for her in the past and that fits in really good with they way I eat mostly anyway so I made my weekly meal plan and went shopping today for the week. This week I am also going to head up to the aquatic center and check out their gym and water aerobics classes. I have set up some goals to meet for myself by the time I get to see my hubs again and I am itching to meet them. Well I am off to check my pot roast so I will leave you with a couple of pics from my little trip!
